Boofuddus your mother got rid of crohns? Like cured it? Last I checked thats not possible. She could have gone into remission and maybe hasn't had a flare up. I have heard claims of people curing it with pig worms or certain diets and things. It would be interesting to see what she says. Thanks for looking into it. I'm open to trying almost anything out.
Well, she claims she got rid of it for good, I don't know.
This is what she said she did:
She said get yourself some gastrointestinal support called "Sustain" from Metagenics as well as something called "Digest-a-sure". Take those 3 times a day until you feel totally recovered, it will take a while she said but do it faithfully and she swears it will work. Then after you feel you're good you need to get an endoscopy or colonoscopy done to verify that you are indeed better.
The whole time you're taking these supps she said to eliminate all: meat, cheese, dairy, coffee, spicy food, alchohol, fried foods, tomato sauces and sauces in general. You can eat starches but minimal starches she said. Basically anything that will irritate you and cause firther inflammation of the crohns.
She said a big bonus would be to find fresh aloe and eat it. Not the skin, just the crystals or the inside I guess is what she meant. If you can't find fresh then aloe vera in a bottle will do, it will help subdue the inflammation that is causing the irritation and soothe you.
And then she said to also take liquid chlorophyll and flax seed oil if you can as well.
It was super hard on her during this time because the nature of this disease is so wicked that just about all of todays foods(processed and what not) will aggravate and irritate it . She had a hard time finding things she could eat that didn't contain any of the above so it was a lot of planning and preparation on her part and I suspect you'll have to do the same if you want to give it a shot.
